yes took me ages just to get this shot and it was pot luck as lighting was rubbish so couldn't get a very fast shutter speed

The dim light doesn't make it easy does it, but you got him/her

I really like your Little Egret, the fluffy bits on the tail, the feathers from the chest and back of head, I've manage to get a few on the river near here but they never have the fluffy dangling bits. Are they very timid where you are? I usually have to commando crawl up river bank to get them

haha they are yes, but this guy sits in 3 different places along the river he sits there for about 5 mins or so then flys off to the next then he works his way back he does it over and over again, not sure why so i generally just sit in the bush near by and wait for him to come back haaha

That's great, you know his/her habits and have a comfy bush for ambush
